Design Dilemma Paint Kitchens

paint cabinets white?

8 years ago

Hey, I was wondering if I should paint my cabinets white or leave them? I love the look of a white kitchen, what's everyone's experience with painting kitchen cabinets? Here's the best picture of it I have right now in the chaos of remodeling, I'm getting new countertops too

First unless you are an expert at painting cabinets get a pro. It will not be cheap but the finish will last a lot longer and look professional. It would be nice to have some pics of the whole space and waht else you are changing. Have you chosen the new counters . If so then we need to see that too.IMO you need a lot more lighting and that should be installed before choosing paint colors for anything

clean them..put long pulls...you have nice tall cabinets..play them up with vertical lined pulls..you don't need to paint them.

I think they would look great in white. I would advise to get a professional. I don't think kitchen cabinets are something you want to DIY personally.
